Chapter 1095: Elixir of Transcendence
"Junior here has seen the Master!"
As the crucial daily review was about to begin, White Ape's anger surged at the interruption, but upon spotting Lu Xuan's ambiguous smile in the distance, he immediately calmed down and instinctively prostrated himself on the ground.
"I'll be going on a long journey soon. You must guard the cave mansion well during this time. Absolutely no fighting. If I return and find any damage, you won't be getting any good fruits to eat."
"Oh? Master, eating some bad fruits is no problem for me." White Ape quickly replied.
"..."
Lu Xuan realized White Ape had misunderstood his instructions, so he rephrased them in simpler terms.
"By the way, if any of the Sword Peak's uncles or fellow disciples come to visit, just tell them I'm in seclusion preparing for my Nascent Soul breakthrough and cannot receive guests."
He repeatedly emphasized this.
"Yes, Master!" White Ape pounded his chest in agreement.
After some preparation, Lu Xuan quietly left the Cave Profound Sword Sect, boarding the giant sword boat and disappearing into the vast void.
About a month later, he finally arrived outside the Deficient Heavenly Grotto.
"It seems that under the cover and protection of the Celestial Star Sword Formation, the Deficient Heavenly Grotto has not been discovered by any cultivators."
Lu Xuan held a pure white spirit flower in his hand, and on its petals, the scenes observed by Flower Beauty Slave were revealed.
After confirming there were no abnormalities, Lu Xuan finally stepped out of the dense fog.
His eyes scanned the area, and he could vaguely see twinkling starlight. Countless small stars were moving in mysterious trajectories, scattering their radiance everywhere.
"The Celestial Star Sword Formation can absorb starlight from the void as its power source, which can save a lot of intermediate-grade spirit stones."
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he entered the formation.
The moment he stepped in, the countless stars in the sky seemed to come alive, transforming in myriad ways, and sword intent covered the entire area.
Lu Xuan naturally dared not test the swords with his body, quickly opening the sword formation and swiftly entering the Deficient Heavenly Grotto.
"A seventh-rank sword formation, also from the Cave Profound Sword Sect. It's more than capable of dealing with two or three early-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs."
With the Celestial Star Sword Formation, Lu Xuan had rarely worried about the safety of the Deficient Heavenly Grotto.
A moment later, a sense of solidity rose from under his feet.
"Such a familiar aura."
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, savoring the familiar fresh and natural atmosphere, and a sense of satisfaction welled up within him.
He looked around, confirming that all the spirit plants were normal, and then he immediately went to the seventh-rank Tribulation Transcending Flower.
The Tribulation Transcending Flower had already bloomed into a pure black spirit flower. The patterns on its petals resembled layer upon layer of rippling water, ebbing and flowing.
Lu Xuan's consciousness focused on the flower, and he instantly felt like he had entered an endless sea of suffering.
The only sound in his ears was the rushing of water. His spirit perception seemed to land on a small leaf boat, swiftly sailing through the sea of suffering, as if carrying Lu Xuan to the other shore.
"It's already in the rapid growth stage, but I no longer have the patience to wait for it to mature."
Lu Xuan sighed, and a small green gourd appeared before him.
The green stopper on the gourd's mouth opened, and strands of extremely pure vegetal essence floated out, seeping into the Tribulation Transcending Flower under his guidance.
The green spirit energy flowed endlessly, nourishing the pure black spirit flower to the fullest.
The spirit flower gradually bloomed, and the rippling water on its petals became more and more prominent.
"As expected of a seventh-rank spirit plant, the consumption of vegetal essence is truly enormous."
Over the years, Lu Xuan had filled up most of the Divine Wood Qing Hu, but it was far from enough for this seventh-rank Tribulation Transcending Flower in its growth stage, and soon, all the vegetal essence within was exhausted.
"Continue the ripening process."
Lu Xuan's thoughts stirred, and droplets of azure spirit dew appeared above the Tribulation Transcending Flower.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
As it absorbed more and more Primordial Tree Sap, the Tribulation Transcending Flower grew at a visible speed, and the sound of waves on its petals seemed to pass through the illusion, manifesting in reality.
After absorbing the fifth drop of Primordial Tree Sap, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up, as if he had crossed the boundless Sea of Misery and stepped into a new world.
"Divine Wood Qing Hu, with five drops of Primordial Tree Sap, has finally ripened the Tribulation Transcending Flower."
Lu Xuan carefully plucked the pure black spirit flower, focusing his mind and spirit on it. A thought emerged in his Sea of Consciousness.
[Tribulation Transcending Flower, Seventh Rank Spirit Plant, cultivated in a Cave World Blessed Land, nurtured by high-grade spirit spring and spirit soil. The mature spirit flower is the main ingredient for refining the Tribulation Transcending Pill, and consuming the pill can slightly increase the success rate when a cultivator breaks through the Nascent Soul stage.]
"As expected."
Lu Xuan placed the Tribulation Transcending Flower into the Gluttonous Worm Pouch, his gaze completely drawn to the white light sphere below.
The light sphere flickered slightly, appearing incredibly attractive to Lu Xuan.
Unable to contain his anticipation, he reached out and gently touched the surface of the light sphere.
In an instant, the light sphere silently shattered, turning into countless tiny specks of light that soared into the sky, and in a flash, they condensed into a slender river of light and disappeared into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
[Obtained Seventh Rank Spirit Plant, Tribulation Transcending Flower, and acquired Seventh Rank Superior Tribulation Transcending Pill.]
The thought vanished, and a divine spirit pill appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Xuan.
[Tribulation Transcending Pill, Seventh Rank Spirit Pill, of superior quality, has the effect of breaking through tribulations. When encountering cultivation bottlenecks, consuming the pill can slightly increase the success rate of breakthroughs, and is usually used when breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.]
"Seventh Rank Spirit Pill, Tribulation Transcending Pill!"
"It's still of superior quality and should be more effective than ordinary Tribulation Transcending Pills."
Lu Xuan's heart rejoiced.
Although the treasure that matured from the Seventh Rank Tribulation Transcending Flower was not the expected Eighth Rank, he had a greater need for this Tribulation Transcending Pill, and it being of superior quality made it much more effective than ordinary-grade spirit pills.
Lu Xuan gazed at the round, pure black pill, where a faint image of a small boat seemed to slowly advance. The journey ahead was endless, and he didn't know where his destination lay.
"Transcend Tribulations, I hope you can help me through the Nascent Soul Tribulation."
He placed the Tribulation Transcending Pill into a small white jade bottle and stored it in the Gluttonous Worm Pouch.
Then, he approached the Empty Cicada Tree.
The Empty Cicada Tree had grown significantly since the last time he saw it. Its semi-transparent trunk was covered in countless exquisite patterns, as if the wing patterns of thousands of spirit cicadas were layered together, creating a kind of enchanting beauty.
Focusing his attention, he seemed to hear faint sounds coming from within the trunk, as if some strange life was about to split out from the tree.
"It's almost here."
Lu Xuan concentrated his mind and spirit on the Empty Cicada Tree, knowing that it still had some time before it reached full maturity.
The Divine Wood Qing Hu in his hand was completely consumed, and he had used up five drops of Primordial Tree Sap, leaving him with a total of eighty drops, a sufficient amount.
The Empty Cicada Tree needed to undergo multiple transformations to reach the Seventh Rank, and it was just one step away from becoming a Fifth Rank Spirit Plant. Lu Xuan had come a long way, and this was a good opportunity to reap some rewards.
The Fifth Rank Spirit Plant, which had been cultivated for many years, was also nearing maturity. According to Lu Xuan's estimation, it would only require about two drops of Primordial Tree Sap.
"When in doubt, use tree sap."
With a thought, he controlled a drop of Primordial Tree Sap to merge into the semi-transparent trunk.
